I think 2 tables is perfect. Any more and I can't pay any attention to the habits of the other players.

From my personal point of view, playing several tables at a time reduces the ability to analyze the situation, moreover, it prevents us from focusing on monitoring the progress of the game and affecting the tournament.
Hey, did you try it since you post the thread?

For me, it depends if I play cash games or tournaments. In cash games, where every hand is more or less "independant" from one another, I can play multiple tables. But in tourneys, I tend to do only one table at the time because every pot can have consequences on your tournament life.

It´s harder to play with more tables but if you want to go pro it´s inevitable to do because in online poker you will make profit over the amount of games you play.

You shouldn't play many tables if you don't have a solid game that will help you win. Think that the main thing is the study to know what to do in each situation

Playing many tables at once helps you to not overthink your decisions because you dont have time to do that and it forces you to make fast decisions based on your experience playing poker and the more tables you play the better you get at that.Your first thought in making a decision is usually right in my experience.It sucks to second guess yourself change the decision and then find out your first decision was the right one.

It all depends on the type of game and the quality of the players.

No, I only play 2 or 3 to keep real focus on those.

I think you should play as many screens simultaneously as you find comfortable and don't lose focus during the game, there's no point opening many screens and not knowing what you're doing

I'd like to play one table and this must be an expensive tournament, so that I definitely do not get distracted 🙈

As it's being said already - it depends how you feel comfortable - I can only manage to play one table at a time with good results, sometimes I'm trying on 2 tables but it's hard for me yet, maybe I'll be able to so it in a future

If we want to put the poker variance to our advantage, the more we can play without affecting our game, the better.

I think everything depends on your concentration, if you can stay calm and concentrate I think it's valid yes, I can play up to 3 screens that's my comfort zone.

I share the same opinion as you! I believe that increasing the number of tables would be a gradual action, after continuous adaptation. For example, I got used to playing calmly with a maximum of three tables.

Я думаю, что 2 стола — это идеально. Еще немного, и я не могу обращать внимания на привычки других игроков.
if you have 2 tables, you will rarely reach the limits, you need to play more tables because your time just shouldn't run out, load at least 4 tables and above to get prizes or reach the final table in at least one of them then you will earn money with poker

I like to play multiple tables at once but after 4 tables I feel it’s too much to focus on each table dynamic . I can maintain more than 4 up to 8:but I feel that my play is uniform and abc . No time to detrmine the table bluffers etc.
find the right balance of tables , I would say start with 2 or 3 at most until it’s comfortable and it’s ok to play more or less.

I'm a little old and I started playing late, I honestly don't have the capacity to play more than 8 tables simultaneously.

If you want to make a living playing poker, you need to play multiple tables at once, but if you're playing for fun, one table is enough.

The number of tables you play at should never affect the quality of your play. If you notice that you cannot play at more than one table with the required concentration, then play at only one table!!! Perhaps you can compensate for the number of tables played with a higher buy-in and quality of play!!!

You can make mistakes more easily on multi table. I find it more tiring too. I would suggest not to play even 2 tables if you are in a big tournament with big money to be won. Also more difficult to multi table on mobile Apps. Pc multi tables would be a better choice.

If you can keep your concentration level high, go for it.

It's difficult for me to play multiple tables of poker, but I see that many good players use this strategy. I usually lose concentration in the game and lose a lot of chips.
